Re: [ga] Chair election dates
6 months seems to be the consensus so far and I'm agreeable to that as well.

Good point Rod. I want to make a motion that the term of office for chair
and vice chair 1 year. Any seconds? Do we need to vote on this or is a
motion good enough?

Subject: Re: [ga] Chair election dates
As a precursor to voting for chair/vice chair, it seems appropriate to
determine/vote on the term of the office(s). Even before that, however,
the question I have is whether the GA members may do anything other than
debate/discuss ICANN issues. Without an authoritative green light from
the GNSO, on what basis do we proceed? Is there an ICANN board member
supportive of the GA's self-re- organizing effort? I do not have any
answers to my questions, but I am hopeful someone reading this might. To
say the obvious: if some assurances are forthcoming, it would be better
to proceed with some assurances than none. Let's not waste effort.

I think that many of us hope to add that to the goals. I personally
would like to rebuild the GA. But I imagine part of the discussion in
the beginning for this list is to decide on short and long term goals.
The structure being put into place will faciliate that IMO.

Subject: Re: [ga] Chair election dates
I agree that future voting participation will aid the credibility of
the current effort. I have a couple of questions for the list
members.
My understanding of the results of the February voting: a neutral chair
(having a term of ?) will facilitate debate, and the vice chair will
do the same when filling in for the chair. Is this correct?
Is there a goal to accomplish anything other than debate/discuss
ICANN issues? Are we trying to re-constitute the GA into something
resembling its status under the DNSO? It may be helpful in gaining
voting participation to clarify the goals of this effort.

I have asked Joop to neutrally set dates for the close of
nominations and then voting.
I'll oblige. Nominations for Chair and vice-chair can be made on
this list until the 25th of March, 00:00 GMT
All nominations must be seconded in order to be valid.
Acceptances must be received by this list at the latest on the 28th
of March, 00:00 GMT
Voting (or endorsement as the case may be) will start immediately on
the 28th of March, 2007 at 00:00 GMT and will close on April 2,
00:00 GMT
May I ask Chris to tabulate the nominations that have been received
so far?
To increase participation in this vote and in future polls, I would
encourage all members of this list to register as GA- voters on the
www.pollingbooth.info site
A low participation is not going to help the credibility of this
effort.
